Auxiliary Summer Garden Tours

The 2018 Auxiliary Private Garden Tours marks the 34th anniversary of the premiere garden tour in the Twin Cities.The Auxiliary will host their annual Private Garden Tours on Sunday, July 15, Tuesday, July 17 & Wednesday, July 18, 2018. Guests travel on board luxury air-conditioned motor coaches, followed by Sunday brunch or weekday lunch buffet which will be served on the Morgan Terrace outside the Snyder Building.

Once again, the Auxiliary has discovered four lovely gardens that are a source of comfort and fun, both for the owners and those who visit. They include a restored shoreline providing a natural habitat for wildlife and plants, beautiful wooded areas as well as sunny gardens, many water features, a rock garden and a mix of beautiful trees, flowers and hostas, interspersed with herbs, fruits and vegetables.

The tours will take place regardless of the weather. Each tour lasts approximately 3 hours. Please wear comfortable and sensible shoes. All tours are led by knowledgeable guides in luxury air-conditioned motor coaches. Unfortunately, our destination gardens and coaches cannot accommodate those with special needs, including wheelchairs, walkers, etc. Tickets will be sent to only the first name on the registration form. Each guest must show their ticket to board the tour bus and eat lunch. Absolutely no exceptions! No separate admission to the Arboretum is required. Please show your tour ticket at the Gate House. Reservations are limited. Photo by Rosanne Malevich.

2018 online registration will open spring of 2018!
